So he watered (their flock) for them. Then he turned aside into the shade, and said: My Lord! I am needy of whatever good Thou sendest down for me

The site’s Arabic edition follows Warsh ʿan Nāfiʿ; the reference text quoted here and the matcher behind the Fī Riyāḍ loci are Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim. Content is nearly identical, but verse-boundary numbering diverges in a handful of places. Each locus carries its own witness’s numbering. Page references follow the ten-volume Tunis 2022 printing this site was transcribed from; published scholarship on this text cites the six-volume Tunis 2010 printing, whose pagination is different.

1383 / 1964 · Arabic · Lesson 38 — vol. 7, p. 96 · numbered by Ḥafṣ · the annual Ramaḍān cycle
Session transcribed; this āya not located within it. Lesson 38 is titled by sūra rather than by āya; its bounds (Q 27:1–Q 28:88) assume the session opens at the first verse of its first named sūra, and of the thirty sessions that state their own range, three do. Read the edges as unsettled. Of the 181 āyāt in that span, 66 are quoted in the transcription; this one is not among them, so whether he comments on it is not established. The page given is where the lesson opens — start there and read on.

Entries are grouped by what Shaykh Ibrāhīm is doing with the verse, then ordered oldest first inside each group, so the same words can be seen carrying different work across a career. Every entry names the witness it comes from and how well attested the attribution is. Loci that are known but not yet available are listed rather than hidden.
